Chapter 52

Bie Ye compromised and came to Buzhuang with Gu Rao.

This is Gu Rao's second visit to Buzhuang.

The last time I didn't have that much money, I bought cheaper linen. This time I have more money, so Gu Rao plans to buy better cloth.

Buzhuang people come and go, and the business is very good.

Gu Rao didn't make fun of himself by asking people to introduce these fabrics to him. Instead, he touched them one by one and compared the comfort before asking, "Boss, what kind of fabric is this?"

The shopkeeper's ability to remember people is very good, in addition, Gu Rao and Bie Ye are both good-looking, and Bie Ye's height is rare in this era, and they are very recognizable, and they can be recognized at a glance as the last time they came A couple who bought linen.

He glanced at the cloth in Gu Rao's hand.

I was sure that she couldn't afford it, and because I was very busy now, not every customer could be taken care of, so I just said perfunctorily, "It's soft smoke, and it costs a hundred cents a foot. Madam might as well look at other things."

Gu Rao asked again, "How much is a foot of fine cotton cloth?"

The shopkeeper was busy greeting others, and waited for Gu Rao to ask again before he answered casually, "Twenty cents a foot."

Gu Rao asked, "I buy a lot, can it be cheaper?"

When the shopkeeper heard that she bought a lot, and it was not linen but cotton, his attitude was more enthusiastic than before, and he walked up to Gu Rao and asked, "If you buy a lot, I can pull some more cloth for you."

"How much muslin do you want?"

Gu Rao said, "You should buy some soft tobacco and fine cotton cloth."

Pointing to himself, then to Bie Ye beside him.

"I plan to make two sets of soft smoked clothes for me and my husband, and the inner clothes are made of cotton cloth. Can you help me find out how much cloth is suitable?"

The shopkeeper was stunned.

"Do it with soft smoke?"

Gu Rao nodded.

A flower bloomed on the shopkeeper's face, and he said enthusiastically, "This lady has a real eye. She can tell at a glance that the soft smoke is a high-quality fabric. Sheer, comfortable, cool and lightweight.”

"Summer is coming soon, and it's perfect to wear clothes made of this fabric!"

Pointing to the four colors of soft smoke, "Soft smoke only has four colors, namely sky blue, autumn fragrance, pine green, and silver red."

"Your husband is tall and handsome. You have fair skin, a slender figure, and you are still young. You must look good in any color."

"Anyway, if you want to make four sets of clothes, why not make one set of each color?"

This series of beautiful words really made Gu Rao want to buy all four colors. Who made her like all four colors?

"Then make a set of each color."

He turned his head and asked Bie Ye, "What color do you like?"

Bie Ye said, "It's all right."

Gu Rao raised an eyebrow.

"That's what you said, so I'll choose the autumn fragrance color for you. It just so happens that the clothes you wore before were very dull in color, either gray or blue. I haven't tried other colors yet."

Autumn scent is essentially dark yellow.

The shopkeeper immediately said, "Autumn fragrance is low-key yet gentle, and can be worn by both men and women."

Bie Ye did not object.

"it is good."

Gu Rao decided, "Then use sky blue and autumn fragrance to make two sets of clothes for my husband, and use pine green and silver red to make two sets of clothes for me."

The shopkeeper visually measured Bie Ye's height and said to Gu Rao, "Your husband's height requires about ten feet of cloth to make a suit of clothes, and your height requires about seven feet of cloth for a suit of clothes."

"This kind of fabric can also be used as curtains and window screens. Even if you buy too much, you can also use it for other things. It's better than buying too little, right?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"Then let the sky-blue and autumn-colored soft smoke be ten feet each, and the pine green and silver-red soft smoke be seven feet each."

"One bolt of fine cotton should be enough."

The shopkeeper's slap plan.

"I bought a total of 34 feet of soft smoke, one foot is 34 yuan, [-] feet is [-] yuan; one foot of fine cotton is [-] yuan, one piece is [-] feet, and the price of one piece is [-] yuan .”

"The soft tobacco and fine cotton together cost four thousand two hundred silver."

"You bought a lot, how about I give you an extra foot of fine cotton?" Pointing to the rags in the basket under the counter, he said with a smile, "These are leftovers for making clothes, embroidered handkerchiefs, purses, etc. leftovers, if you don’t mind, I can also take some for you.”

Gu Rao saw that the shopkeeper was also very sincere, so he didn't continue to bargain, and said decisively, "Then thank the shopkeeper, I will come to you to buy cloth next time."

"Wrap me the cloth just now."

The shopkeeper ordered the staff to wrap the cloth, found a sack by himself, packed a large bag of scraps for Gu Rao, and carefully tied up the opening with a longer piece of cloth.

Gu Rao reached out to take it.

"Thank you."

He took the money bag at his waist, took out a silver ingot of five taels and handed it over.

The shopkeeper found [-] Wenyin for her.

After the man wrapped the cloth, Bie Ye took the cloth and hugged it in his arms.
-
After leaving Buzhuang, Gu Rao didn't go back directly, but continued to walk in front of the East Street, and came to a shop that sold pots and pans.

"Boss, how much is this small earthen bowl for steaming meat?"

The boss said, "Two cents a piece."

Gu Rao didn't expect it to be so cheap.

"Give me ten."

Then I looked at the bowls and basins. The bowls for eating are also two pennies each. The bowls are divided into large, medium and small ones.

Gu Rao bought ten bowls for dinner, so as not to have guests without bowls to eat in the future.

I bought two more large basins for washing vegetables or kneading noodles.

Finally, I went to the place where the casserole was placed, and I was not satisfied with all the casserole, so I asked, "Boss, do you have a smaller casserole?"

The boss asked, "How small?"

Gu Rao said, "A casserole that is about the same size as a bowl for eating noodles."

The boss shook his head.

"What can such a small casserole cook?"

"No."

"If you really want it, I can fire it in two days."

two days...

It's going to open in three days, isn't it too late?
Gu Rao secretly thought that she had made a mistake.

"If I buy a lot, can you expedite it for me, burn it in a day, or a day and a half, and give it to me the morning after tomorrow?"

The boss asked, "How much do you want to buy?"

In fact, Gu Rao only planned to buy [-] at the beginning. After all, the business has not yet started, and I don’t know how the business will be when the time comes. Moreover, the yard is too big, and it is not enough to sit [-] people.

But in a hurry, it’s okay to buy more.

In case the business is too good at that time and the cleaning is not done so quickly, these extra casserole pots can also be used.

"Fifty."

The boss nodded.

"can."

"If you give the deposit now, I'll bake it for you later, and I can give you the fifty casserole pots you asked for the next morning."

Gu Rao said, "Do you have straw paper and brushes here?"

"I draw the shape of the casserole I want to prevent mistakes. I need [-] smaller ones and [-] larger ones, and they all need to be covered."
